Belgium Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery (#0325)

Belgium Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery (#0325)
One cemetery that I almost drove past, but am glad I didn't, was the Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery. While driving I saw a cemetery sign seemingly pointing at a row of houses and driveways, it wasn't until circling back that I saw that the sign was pointing down one of the driveways. I parked on the street in a spot that almost looked like someone's private parking spot, and then looked down that driveway. Since it was a marked path, I start walking down it but was expecting someone from one of the houses along the path to come out and tell me (in a language I wouldn't understand) to get off their property. That didn't happen. I'm glad I went, the combination of being isolated, large, looking comparatively woodsy, and closely surrounded by farm buildings and fields, made it seem more connected to nature than was the case with the other cemeteries.
